You need to ensure it’s the proper voltage conversion for 32 bit PCI Slots to function correctly.
But using one that would work would be a gold mine on Z97 boards.
No PCH Redirections, straight to the CPU.

I've been using Riser Cards and Ribbons for years.
Its how I have 1U PCs for Scope.
Using micro ATX too.
We don't need all of the excess slots and gunk on gaming boards.

hello,
i would be interested to give new life to my pulsarII card with a lot of synths purchased... is it possible to have more informations about your system? Components, motherboard, powersupply&1UCase and so on..

Try to get a refurbished/used HP workstation in a rackable case and use your scopecards as a standalone FX/Synth-unit.
I am using a xw6200 with winxp 32bit (about 160€) with a 14 and a 6 DSP card.
Each card has its own IRQ.
No VSTis, no sequencer, no ASIO-hassle... Just processing ADAT ins. Works perfect!!!
My OS is on a small SSD and booting it up takes just a few seconds.

Yes, and there's this urban legend of running out of boards with PCI slots...
There is SO MUCH stuff available that you could still buy boards with twin PCI bussus (6 slots), some even new old stock
(recently found a German site with the most exotic collection I ever spotted online)
Of course such offers vary a lot (and naturally with time passing), but the sheer amount was stunning - and that was just 1 single online store.

1-how is that system for large sample libraries players like Kontakt.
2-can it be synced to another System’s Daw?
3-are there any accessories apart from xite that can send good quality audio outs to a scope pci system? Using it as a sampler so to speak?

It’s great for ASIO Sampled instruments.
Yes, with software like VEPro
Digital Audio is cheaper and easier to get high quality audio.
Get a used RME like a Ray Dat or even cheaper if possible.
It’s the quality of the drivers that makes RME, Lynx and Apogee better cards.
But you should try the onboard audio of the motherboard for shits and grins.
Who knows, it might work.
Everything gets better and smaller every cycle.

Do you have any links for 3 PCI Mobos?

Thanks

you probably mean 'modern' motherboards - sorry, I gave up on those long ago. Imho Dawman is the most reliable source in that domain as he still seems to ride the cutting edge of the wave with sustained endurance
I don't mind lack of CPU cycles and stick with classic boards and would receive Scope data via Adat on a modern, high power system (if in need).
